This is insane. Eric Adams is on Fox and Friends as Homan’s pet dog, and Holman is openly discussing “the agreement we came to,” and NO DEM ANYWHERE IS SAYING ANYTHING

In a reckless move that could put countless Americans at risk, CDC cuts are expected to devastate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health EIS officers tasked with investigating disease outbreaks and health threats in the U.S. and abroad.

Uh oh. Red states are starting to feel the pain. Trump’s massive federal cuts are leaving communities high and dry. Cue the part where Republicans start to give a damn.

It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams.

The whole deal is corrupt AF.

To think it was only seven months ago that the imbecilic J.D. Vance was peddling the line that Britain is the “first islamist country with nuclear weapons”.
JD Vance: Donald Trump's vice president pick suggests UK is 'first Islamist country with nuclear weapons'
Mr Vance - who once described Mr Trump as an "idiot" and "America's Hitler" - made the comments about the UK at the National Conservatism conference last week.

Vance was right on just one thing: Europe lacks a clear positive vision of what it wants to defend.

The answer must be "the things Vance rejects": truth, science, liberal democracy, rule of law, resisting dictators, climate action.

It will have to do that without, & sometimes against, the US Govt.
